Provisional ballots: This is a paper ballot that is cast separately and sealed in a green envelope. The voter must provide the information requested and sign the Statement of Voter. A provisional ballot is used in the following situations, but not limited to:
 When the voter’s name is not on the poll book, the voter believes he is registered in that precinct, and the registrar’s office cannot be contacted to verify that the voter is registered.
 When a voter at the polling place fails to present one of the forms of identification required in Virginia.
 When a voter fails to show one of the required forms of photo ID when voting in person.
 When a voter who registered by mail on or after January 1, 2003, and did not mail in a copy of their ID at that time, fails to show one of the federally required forms of ID when voting for the
first time in a federal election.
 When a voter who was sent an absentee ballot has not received or has lost the ballot, or
had previously returned the ballot spoiled or damaged and appears at his regular polling
place on Election Day.
 When the normal voting hours are extended by court order.
 When the pollbook indicates that the voter has already cast a ballot in the current election.
Provisional ballots are not counted on Election Day; the local Electoral Boards will meet the day after the election to begin determining whether each provisional voter was qualified to vote. The votes of qualified voters will then be counted and included in the results of the locality. If the provisional ballot was cast due to the voter’s inability to provide proper identification when attempting to vote, the voter has until noon on Friday, June 14 to submit a copy of an identification document. Therefore, the results may not be available until after that time in some localities.
